ronald reagan, like barack obama, inherited a struggling economy. ronald reagan implemented policies 180 degrees opposite of barack obama. instead of checking up taxes, he cut taxes. instead of exploding spending and the death, he restrained growth and spending. instead of -- debt, he restrained growth and spending. instead of releasing the hounds of regulators on small businesses and rescue -- entrepreneurs, reagan limited regulation. the result was one of the strongest person of economic activity our nation has ever seen. the fourth year of reagan's presidency was 1984, precisely corresponding to right now in obama's presidency. does anyone know what gdp was then? 7.2%. our ideas work. their ideas do not. if you want the 23 million people struggling finding work to get jobs, the answer is simple. you need growth. to get growth, you have got to reduce and simplify the tax burden, reduce regulations, and unchain small businesses and entrepreneurs. over six -- over 50% of americans who voted on election day believed the economy was george bush's. the

that is not a bad message if you are the obama white house. >> i agree, i think obama clearly ran on raising taxes on those making a quarter million dollars or more per year and 67% of the voters consistently agreed with that message. that is as close to a mandate as you were going to get in american politics. the candidates talk about it, the voters agree and poles to it, and the guy wins. so he has a mandate to try to do that, but there is no law saying that republicans cannot lay down in front of the train and stop that. and are divided party system, this republican party has the ability to stop that until we get to the machinations of the bush tax cuts. every time obama sat down to negotiate with republicans up until now, they have had an its vantage. that is that obama always wanted negotiations to succeed more than they did. a lot of republicans said, hey, let the debt ceiling expire because that is the kind of fire and brimstone punishment of a sitting nation that turns them on. but right now what will happen is if the six buyers, all those tax cuts expire at once, and then th

[laughter] they may have wished they kicked me off but i survived. how it is interesting to me, if we look at this presidential race, and, already, people are drawing these artificial lines in the sand about the republican education plan, the democrat education plan, and i offered a suggestion, i assumed the role of speech writer for both of them before the convention, and i sent a script to both of them, and i said, either one of you can bite at this. you should start your nomination speech in the similar following manner. "there is a lot my opponent and i have to disagree over. i want to talk about the most important issue facing the future of this country. that is the education of our children all too often, we have put ourselves in a position where we have allowed for partisanship to dominate and dictate our policy directives as they relate to the future of our children. as nominee of the party, i will say that we will end that. i will suggest
